Bouzanis, who signed from Western Sydney last January, has kept his spot and now it’s his to lose, despite the class of Dane Sorensen waiting in the wings.

“I’ve always backed my ability and know what I can bring to any team. I’ve worked really hard and to be given the nod and hopefully keep taking my chance because it’s a wonderful club and a great team to be a part of,’’ Bouzanis said.

“Tommy’s a great ‘keeper and we push each other, we both work as hard as we can and whoever gets the nod gets the nod.

“But I was grateful for my chance and every day I’ll keep working hard to keep improving and bettering every single day.

“It was an unbelievable feeling to win some silverware and great to see that the FFA Cup has come such a long way. We wanted to win from the start.’’
